rebel-lite-iphone-4-dual-sim-adapter-backNo More swapping Sim Cards over using the supplied iPhone opener tool with the iPhone 4 impossible sim gates style from apple every time.

When ever i get my hands on my apple phones i always loose the tool used to open the Sim gate tray mechanism.

Then I’m forced to look through my paper clips collection to find one of the right size and top worry about damaging it altogether.

I find that the paper-clips that come in different colours like this are the best ones as once you take of the out coating of the plastic the size is about right to get the iPhone Sim out to be able to simply swap over to your other network sim card.

Well no more of the complicated fiddling around and keeping your other network Sim Cards in your wallets or purses & pockets in jeans,trousers or jackets. and no more worrying if your spouse ended up washing your other network sim card in the washing machine as you forgot to take it out.

The New Rebel Pro & Lite Dual Sim adapters are here to save the day.

  • The Pro and Lite Dual Sim Adapters provides a new more powerful and convenient way of switching between network Sim Cards like not available before.
  • Its much more practical when your network sims are in the right place and inside the Rebel Dual sim adapters.
  • You can simply switch between network Simcards in a few clicks by going to the Rebel STK Menu in the iPhone 4 under Settings /Phone / Sim Applications.
  • This is a great way to save money and complications when you travel to another country and wish to use a local providers network sim with an unlocked iPhone 4.
  • Save money in your home country by using network Simcards from MVNO’s that share the same network code as your locked iPhone 4.

1 Clear Case Included

The Dual Cards do NOT support DUAL STANDBY Mode but you can switch between them and be connected to one network simcard at any one time only.

Lets say you have a unlocked iPhone 4 and posses more than one network simcard and wish to swap the network simcards around from diffrent providers be it any reason you like.

Currently by phyically switching network simcards manually can get complicated and become time cumsuming and can cause damage to the iphone 4 sim gate and internal click in mechanism.

You may want to be able to swap simcard many times a day as and when you need to use your other network simcard.

On the other hand if your iPhone 4 is locked to one network then you can only use 2 network Simcards in the locked iPhone 4 that come from the same network provider or a MVNO that shares your locked iphone 4 providers as explained below.

What are the Rebel iPhone 4 Dual sim adapters used for ?

To save you time and money and hassle of manually changing network Simcards around by physically changing them.

Let me give you this scenario about using MVNO’s in the UK you could easily use Tesco or GiffJaff in your locked iphone 4 thats locked on only 02 with the Rebel Dual Sim Adapters

If your phone is locked to say one network only and for example its UK O2. you can still use and save money as other virtual mobile network operators often have much cheaper offering that share the same network code.

This allows the network Simcards from MVNO’s sims to work and will also work on your locked iPhone 4?s.

At the moment Giff Gaff is like Tesco mobile who are a MVNO’s that run on the 02 network and is offering a very good deal along with Tesco mobile and their tripling credit offer.

They like other MVNO’s buy bulk airtime deals and resell on under their own brand. These network simcards all share in common the the same network code 23410 which tells the phone to login to to the UK O2 Network.

This network code is called the MCC Mobile county code which in this case is 234 for all uk network simcards & the MNC Mobile Network code which in this case is 10 for all the network Simcards that run on the uk O2 network.

You too can can check from the list here for other MVNO in your home country as we gave you an example for the UK and then be able have access to great deals by simply switching over to the other network simcard in a few click thats already inside your rebel dual sim card adapter.

Unlocked iphone 4 users and freedom of choice to use any network simcard.

If your a traveller then you can be prepared soon as you arrive at your destination country and switch to your local network sim to have better rates and be able to keep in touch.

While your in your other country you can keep up to date with incoming SMS by simply switching to your home network sim as often incoming SMS are free while roaming on nearly all networks.

Why let your hard earned money get wasted on roaming Costs when Travelling with Crazy Rates of £3/Minute to Recieve or make a Calls for many popular holiday destinations.

Maybe you have 1 network sim with very good voice calls bundle but does not have a good data package.   Now you can take advantage of other deals in the market and simply switch to the other network sim to make saving whenever you want and where ever you are within minutes.

Apple makes thier simcard gates and connectors complicated and fiddly so you dont bother to swap simcards & the more you pay your mobile network the more network will pay to Apple as apple want to make money Not only from the Hardware but also via Itunes store & app developers & from the money you spend with your network for calls & data.

Give your self new choice and option to make Saving on your mobile phone Bills with the Rebel Dual Sim Adapter Range.

Stop looking for the correct type of thickness paperlcips & Stop worring about having to open and close the sim gate time and time again as the Rebel Lite sims are a Great solution for you and can Truly simplify the switching process for you.

All IPhone 4 & IPad customers worldwide have a couple options to convert their existing sim card to micro size 3FF format.

A Break Down of the current option.

1 Cut using Scissors.


manually cuttting micro sim card

Use Scissors and Risk Loosing your Contact & SMS stored in the network sim card  and even worse is  having to be without a network sim card and loose ability of receiving / making calls/sms/mms while your mobile network send you a new network sim and often at a cost.

Tip to use is if you really want to use scissors and risk it then divert all you call to another number in case you damage it so you don’t loose incoming calls while awaiting a replacement network simcard.

You can use these USSD codes below  to set your divert option  if you cant find the menu in your phones so you don’t loose business or personal calls if you end up messing it up.

Set and Activate divert all calls to **21*DestinationNumber#  Then Press Call Button

Its worth noting that most mobile network only allows call diversion if you have a Post Pay account and the majority of users on pre pay networks cannot use this function to protect themselves from loss of  earning due to loss of calls.

The Rebel Sim Team Advise against taking any kinds of risks where you could break your sim and even worse loose your contacts and if you have not already backed up all data on your networks sims then stay clear from this option.

If you do realy want to do it this way then we advise you to purchase a Rebel Full Size programmer and use the software  supplied which can be used to Backup SMS & Contact Data from network sim cards or from the Rebel Activation/Phone book Card.

Rebel Pro Full Size Programmer with Professional Sim Adaptor

As a bonus you can also retrieve deleted sms messages that reside on the network sim as well as learn about network simcards and the see files and data that is held in a network sim and you can also use  the programmer to change or  update firmwares on the Rebel Sim 1 & II.

Option 2 Use a Rebel Micro sim Cutter to cut you sim in 3 seconds safely and reliably.

Simple 1 click to Cut & you are ready to use your favourite iPhone 4 or iPad with the your existing network simcard.

If you don’t like taking unnecessary risks or you have multiple network simcard to cut then the Rebel Micro sim cutter is a highly recommended. This will help keep your blood pressure down and keep your hair and nail intact as this tool is especially designed to do the job.

Do you Own an Apple iphone or Apple iPad ?

Well this will be a yes for many millions of people around the world. None of us like to wait & to obtain an Iphone or Ipad before its official release in the our home countries. Many of you would have asked a cousin or friend who lives in the country where the iphone or ipad is released first to purchase one and send over to you.

This is a great way to to get your hands on your favourite gadgets early. However thier are some things that are often over looked and this blog article will help you understands its benefits and pitfalls.

Benefits of Obtaining a Apple iphone or ipad from another country ?

Well you get to have one of the latest gadgets to use before others. You can be one step ahead and understand the latest technology on offer and benefit from the 1000’s of applications already available Officially from apple itunes store.

Pitfalls of Obtaining a Apple iphone or ipad from another country ?

This bit is really important if you purchase an locked device which is not Sim Free and can work with only one provider unless you use unlock software on higher firmwares like 3.0 3.1.2 & 3.1.3 & 4.0 or you can use the Permanent Official  itunes Factory Unlock for UK 02 or UK Vodafone.

The way Apple products work when it comes to firmware updates on itunes is a bit tricky. If you are using a Sim Free iphone 2G 3G or 3G then this does not apply to you, but if you are using a locked iphone 2G 3G 3GS  iphone 4 or ipad then we will show you how you can easily by pass the Apple products Activation Checks after firmware updates on itunes.

What to do when the inevitable happens & your  iphone  or ipad software crashes and you need to restore the firmware via itunes.

What all of you will have experience at some time or another is the iphone or ipad will crash and then you need to connect this to itunes to restore the firmware on the device.

Itunes will flash the iphone or ipad with either your choice of custom firmware if you keep hold of Shift while pressing restore or it will download the latest from Apple which you want to avoid as this will update the baseband software also and the chances are that unlock software will not be available for some time for that Baseband firmware.

Either way once you have updated the firmware then its nessasry to Activate the phone with a network simcard from the same provider its locked on to. This way its possible to get past the screen where it says connect to itunes and can then access the other features of the Device.

Question ?

I purchased an  iphone/ipad  and i don’t know the network the phone is locked on to and the phone is stuck at the connect to itunes screen and i don’t have the original network simcard or knowledge on how to create & Flash custom firmware files .

What Can i do too get past this Activation Screen to be able access the device function so i can at least use the phones other features even its not possible to unlock for now ?

Answer

Their are a few solutions to the problem and  i will elaborate more

  1. Most obvious one is to have a network simcard of the same network as the iphone or ipad is locked on to. So if i know that the iphone or ipad is locked on to Vodafone for example then after a firmware update on itunes i would need to have a vodafone simcard in the device to be able to gain entry to the device and will be able pass the activation on itunes.
  2. Create a Custom ipsu or Dmg Firmware which is already hacktivated using some special tools and these can only be used with Apple Mac computers and then flash this newly created firmware to the device so you can by pass the activation check all together. But this is not possible for all firmwares and not available for all Apple iphone and ipad firmwares and not the Latest 4.0 OS on the ipad or iphone 4 as those are too new and wont be supported for some time
  3. Use special Rebel activation by pass sim cards that dont need programming and  can auto detect the  network code settings to fool iphones or ipads in to thinking they have a same network in order to get past the activation screen.

Early estimates indicate that 77 percent of those who queued up for the iPhone 4 yesterday were upgrading from an older iPhone.

Reported waits of up to eight hours in line to buy the iPhone 4 Thursday indicated that first-day sales were going to be good. And while Apple has not yet announced official sales numbers, some Wall Street analysts have done some extrapolation based on interviews with customers at stores around the U.S. Thursday.

On Friday, Oppenheimer’s Yair Reiner did a little math to estimate that Apple may have sold more than 1.5 million iPhone 4s to date. He gets there by adding the 600,000 preordered units Apple announced last week, plus estimating 100,000 units sold to walk-in customers (guessing an average of 500 per store), 50,000 units sold to Best Buy (about 45 per store), and then doubling that number to include international sales.

There’s no way to know how accurate those numbers actually are–Apple doesn’t publicly disclose how many units are distributed to each store–but it seems plausible. Apple may release numbers sometime Friday, or it could wait until after the weekend, as it has with past product launches, to enumerate its total four day sales total.

Apple sold 1 million iPhone 3G units in the first weekend it went on sale in 2008, and 1 million iPhone 3GS unitsduring its first weekend available in 2009.

Separately, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster polled people queued up for the iPhone 4 Thursday and based on their responses, estimates that 77 percent of people buying a phone yesterday were previously iPhone owners and were upgrading.

“We spoke with 608 people in line for the iPhone 4 (Thursday) in San Francisco, Minneapolis, and New York.,” Munster wrote in a research note Friday. “The bottom line: 77 percent of new iPhone buyers were existing iPhone owners (upgrades), compared to 56 percent in 2009, and 38 percent in 2008. Apple is effectively building a recurring revenue stream from a growing base of iPhone users that upgrade to the newest version every year or two.

Those Apple iPad users investing in a newiPhone 4 may be disappointed to discover you won’t be able to share the smartphone’s micro-SIM card to get online.

In an new Apple FAQs the company states: “Are iPhone 4 and iPad micro-SIM cards interchangeable? No. Your iPad micro-SIM card will not work with your iPhone.

However, a spokesperson for O2, one of Apple’s partners for the iPhone and iPad in the UK, told PC Pro the devices are “quite different.”

Apple  iPhone 4“Both use a mini-SIM, but the iPad micro-SIM is not, for example, provisioned for voice, and focuses on flexible data. The micro-SIM for the iPhone is set up for voice and other functionality.”

The iPhone 4 goes on sale next Thursday, 24 June in the UK, US, France, Germany and Japan, with reports that stocks may already be limited. Currently, O2, Orange, Vodafone, T-Mobile, Three and Tesco Mobile will all be selling the iPhone 4 at launch in the UK.

What’s the difference between a SIM and a micro-SIM?

Like a regular SIM, the micro-SIM holds your subscriber information for the carrier and is great for storing
iphone 4gphone book contacts and other personal information. Micro-SIMs are user-replaceable and slide into a little slot in your device just like regular SIMs.

The micro-SIM is a smaller version of a SIM card found in your mobile phone, but holds exactly the same functions and micro-applications. The size of the micro-SIM is about a half of a regular SIM card (12×15 mm instead of 15×25mm). Though it contains the same information, it is not physically compatible with regular SIM cards found in your mobile phone.

A micro-SIM is basically smaller than a normal SIM card like you have and will only work in an iPad or iphone 4 and a watch phone by Lok8u,.

You can see from the images below and see the sim is much smaller than normal but the inner workings of the sim chip are the same with only small modifications that will be further explained down below in the article.

Should i use Scissors or a Knife or Blade to Cut my Sim to Micro Sim Format to use in ipad or Apple 4 ?

Not so Fast as thier was some news in today from Apple that might put a damper on your plans to save yourself a Wad of Notes. It would be reckless to consider taking a pair of scissors to cut the plastic of a regular SIM cards to make a micro-SIM. Anyone who would attempt to do so would risk damaging both their SIM and also the SIM slot of the device but its possible with some Skill.

A better option would be to contact your carrier to get a micro-SIM card or if you do want to convert a normal sim to a micro sim use the Micro sim Cutter Option and if you need to convert your micro sim back to normal you can also use micro sim adapters..

Why Apple Moved to the New Micro Sim Format.

Apple have learnt from previous sim unlock hacks via Sim Overlay Technology from the likes of Rebel Simcard for unlocking, Call  Control Least Cost routing and the use of Double Sim Adapters and have gone to micro Sim format to do their best to block out the possibility of future hacks. Changing down to the micro format so that they can make it much harder to fit Gadgets inside the iphone 4 or ipad sim gates.

ipad-sim-gate-micro-sim-small

ipad-sim-gate-micro-sim

ipad-sim-gate-micro-sim-pic

Another reason Apple moved to the new format was a smart marketing technique. Their is nothing new about the micro sim other than the change of size and apple know this would be good talking point for others to create more talk and publicity around their products and people will percieve also the micro sim is special for apple products or even made by them.

The micro sim was first used by Lok8u, they were the first to ship a micro-SIM product in the United States — a watch that relays the location of children from their wrists to their parents’ cellphones.Jobs Got in Second on the Act here but will claim the Glory and portray this as Apples invention too.

Today’s News Puts a Damper on the Hopes of People wanting to use their existing network Simcard on the Apple Ipad

Apple has added a section to its iPhone FAQ confirming that you won’t be able to use one Micros SIM in both the smartphone and the Apple iPad.

Thousands off people who don’t want to Sign up to New 2 Year  Contracts from Carriers planned to buy an Ipad  Sim Free and use their Existing Simcards which have free or cheap internet packages by converting then by cutting them self or through the of micro sim cuttings tools have had their Plans blown out of the window for Now with the new announcement.

The official line on this from UK O2 is ”The micro-SIMs for the iPhone are set up to allow voice calls, SMS messages and data functionality, whereas the iPad micro-SIM is provisioned to allow pay-as-you-go data transfer only.”

“The two devices are designed to give a different experience. The iPhone 4 is for regular use, whereas with the iPad we offer moreflexibility over data use.”

Makes perfect business sense from Apple’s point of view, but seems a riff off as the Device is Purchased Sim Free and such Restrictions should not be placed. This means we need to have two monthly data plans if we want 3G mobile browsing.

The two types of Micro Sim card for Apple ipad & Iphone 4 Explained and Can you use if you convert you existing sims to micro sim format.

Most networks around the world sell 2 types of network simcard.

  1. Voice & Data Enabled Simcard where you can Make Calls and also Use to Surf the Net. This is the most common type of simcard around the world and is same as what we find in mobile phones and phones like Iphone 3G 3G 3GS.
  2. Data Only Simcard Where you cant make Calls but Can use to surf the Net Only. This type of network simcard is quite new and only few years old & can only be used in devices who primary function is to supply Data only Services and you will already find these kinds of simcards in devices like data dongle & Mifi Devices and often are bundled in to deals with Laptops that are sold with internal wireless GPRS EDGE 3G Modems.

If you already have a Good mobile contract Deal with Free Data allowance this Leaves you with the Following options if you convert you network sim to micro format and buy a Sim Free iphone 4 or Ipad 3G.

Can i use my Normal Voice & Data enabled Sim ?

Sim Free iphone 4              Sim Free ipad

YES                                                 No

Can i use my Data only Sim from my existing data dongle or Mifi with Sim Free Ipad & Iphone 4G ?

Sim Free iphone 4              Sim Free ipad

Yes *                                                    Yes

*To be confirmed by our guess is Yes but for Data Only and not voice


UK Mobile Networks and thier offerings for Micro Sims

Rival networks OrangeVodafone and 3 are all offering customers the chance to pre-order the Micro SIMs needed to use the iPad’s 3G capabilities

The UK O2 network is offering its daily tariff (£2 per day for 500MB) but users need to wait for Friday before they can order their SIM.

Some History in the Development of the micro-SIM

The micro-SIM was developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute along with SCP, 3GPP (UTRAN/GERAN), 3GPP2 (CDMA2000), ARIB, GSMAssociaton (GSMA SCaG and GSMNA), GlobalPlatform, Liberty Alliance, and the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) for the purpose of fitting into devices otherwise too small for a mini-SIM card.

The form factor was mentioned in the Dec 1998 3GPP SMG9 UMTS Working Party, which is the standards-setting body for GSM SIM cards, and the form factor was agreed upon in late 2003.

The micro-SIM was created with backwards compatibility in mind. The major issue with backwards compatibility was the contact area of the chip. Retaining the same contact area allows the micro-SIM to be compatible with the previous, larger SIM readers through the use of plastic cutout surrounds. The SIM was also designed to run at the same speed (5 MHz) as the previous version.

The chairman of EP SCP, Dr. Klaus Vedder, said

“With this decision, we can see that ETSI has responded to a market need from ETSI customers, but additionally there is a strong desire not to invalidate, overnight, the existing interface, nor reduce the performance of the cards. EP SCP expect to finalise the technical realisation for the third form factor at the next SCP plenary meeting, scheduled for February 2004.”

Card sizes

SIM cards were first made the same size as a credit card (85.60 mm × 53.98 mm × 0.76 mm). The development of physically smaller mobile devices prompted the development of a smaller SIM card, the mini-SIM card. Mini-SIM cards have the same thickness as full-size cards, but their length and width are reduced to 25 mm × 15 mm.

The mini-SIM card has the same contact arrangement as the full-size SIM card and they are normally supplied within a full-size card carrier, attached by a number of linking pieces. This arrangement (defined in ISO/IEC 7810 as ID-1/000) allows for such a card to be used in a device requiring a full-size card, or to be used in a device requiring a mini-SIM card after cleanly breaking the scorings manufactured in the outline of a mini-SIM card.

Even smaller device sizes have prompted the development of a yet smaller card size, the 3FF cardormicro-SIM. Micro-SIM cards have the same thickness and contact arrangement again, but the length and width are further reduced to 15 mm × 12 mm. The specifications for the 3FF card or micro-SIM also include additional functionality beyond changing the physical card size.

Automatic GSM diallers can be either be installed as software or as hardware.

This Demo shows how to use the Rebel Sim II Dialler v2 firmware in iphone 3GS which is a Hardware based Automatic Least Cost Routing Dialling System.

The hardware Rebel  sim II  dialler is a thin chip of a similar shape to a phone’s SIM that sits between the SIM and the phone.

A sim dialer allows users to use international calling card services through the mobile phone without changing normal dialing procedures.

Once set up has been Completed users dont need to worry about being charged Excessive Prices for international calls and the system Detects numbers that Start with 00 and routes the call automatically to your desired Calling service Access number.

In this Example we first obtained calling credit from a VOIP server like www.voipfone.co.uk  but you can any other voip or calling card provider of your choice.

Step 1

How Cut the Network Simcard Safely Using the Network Simcard Cutter

Step 2

Place the Rebel Sim ii with firmware v2 for Call through in the iphone 3GS simgate as show but if your using other phone models check the guide here on how to enter the rebel simcard II in other simgate styles

.

Step 3

Place some tape over the simgate so you can always remove safely. Tape is only advised for all iphone models only.

Step 4

Click on Settings and Then Phone then Sim Applications at the bottom of the Screen

Step 7

Now Configure the Dialler to Work for iphones. By clicking on Dialling Modes From menu Select ICC2 option

rebel sim dialler

You are Ready now and as a demo we placed a called to a numbers that does not start with 00 and the phone call is not changed and goes through as normal

rebel sim dialler

Now Place a call from your phone memory or dial on the keypad any number that starts with 00 and the Rebel Sim Dialler software kicks in and DOES not Let a Direct Call Take Place.

Instead the Access number is called and when the Voip access number sees the Caller ID of your phone it auto answers and supplied you with Dialtone to dial your number. The Rebel sim Dialler sends the Voip provider of the number you dailled via DTMF tones and they connect the call but so much cheaper.

Palm Pre baseband downgrade Tool how to Guide for Web OS 1.4/1.4.1

We found that many users who had purchased a Rebel Simcard II for Palm Pre phones have had to loose 3G functions due to Auto software updates from Palm like the 1.4.1  which restricts usage to 2G only.

As this is not due the Fault of the Rebel simcard II Palm Pre users as updates can happen without thier knowledge automatically.

You can use this Tool Free if you have a rebel simcard II and can downgrade the Baseband of the 1.4/1.4.1 Palm Pre Web OS and then have full 3G and network renewal functions enabled once again like it was on the 1.3.5 firmware.

Another option this software supplies you with is if you want to block out future auto updates of the Palm Web OS.

Step 1
Make sure Palm Pre is charged at least %50

Step 2
Download and Install Microsoft Framework 3.5 from here

Reboot PC

Step 3

Enable Developer Mode on the Palm Pre

There are now two ways known to enable the Pre’s dev mode.
1. Simply enter the Konami cheat code:
upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart
2. or enter this:
webos200906Step 306
in either way, you’ll see a “secret” menu switch that allows you to enable the developer mode. After that reboot the device.

Do not connect to the the Pre to the PC yet

Step 4
Click here to Download the Baseband Downgrade Tool

Step 5
Run the file you just downloaded and Extract the File in a directory on the PC like the desktop

Step 6
Inside the Directory you chose you will have 2 exe – Installer and preloader.

Step 7
installer:

Run it, hit install and it will prompt you to install novacom, after installation it will reboot the PC,

Step 8
Preloader:

after the PC has rebooted run the preloader, connect the phone, Let the novacom drivers automatically install,

Step 9
Connect the Phone
When drivers installed press “Start here”
and the process will start.

Step 10

Now the Applications will start doing its work
1 stage – copying the firmware to phone,

At the copy stage the software will stop responding, but if a high speed USB will be used then it will take 5 seconds, on a slow (USB HUB1.0) it will take about 1,5 minutes.

Step 11
Now application starts baseband downgrade process
2 stage – downgrading.

Downgrade process may halt with “Processing file..” then just close software and run it again. Its novacom bug.

Step 12

Additional Notes

After the modem is reboot users will see “Your device is ready for use” and at this stage you can click on the Next button to continue to disabling the auto updates if you wish to stop new updates taking place on the Palm Web OS.

Enjoy

The new Palm pre firmware 1.4 has been released.


However Rebel sim II is not Fully Compatiable with 1.4 firmware unless some firmware modifications is made but Rebel Simcard II is still the only way to unlock the Palm Pre phones.

Users who upgrade to the 1.4 WEBOS firmware will not be able to use the 3G UMTS networks.  The 1.4 WEBOS firmware restricts the Rebel simcard II from being able to Generate Network Authentications keys due to the Modem Baseband software being updated by the 1.4 firmware.
